Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is the premium choice for Wisconsin homeowners who want the last roof they'll ever put on their home — and a product that handles every season with zero compromise.
Metal roofing in Wisconsin isn't just about aesthetics — it's about performance in one of the most demanding climates in the Midwest. Standing seam metal roofs shed snow cleanly, resist ice damming, hold up to severe hail and wind, and last 40–70 years with minimal maintenance. Badger Ridge installs standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing systems on residential properties throughout Southeast Wisconsin. If you want a long-term investment in your home's protection and curb appeal, metal roofing is worth a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How loud is a metal roof in rain or hail?
When properly installed over solid sheathing with appropriate underlayment, metal roofs are not significantly louder than asphalt shingles. The "loud in rain" perception typically comes from older, uninsulated buildings with exposed metal.
Will metal roofing make my home too cold in winter or hot in summer?
Metal roofing with reflective coatings can actually improve energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat in summer. In winter, the thermal properties of metal are similar to other roofing materials when proper insulation is maintained in the attic.
Can metal roofing be installed over existing shingles?
In some cases, yes — but we typically recommend a full tear-off so we can inspect the deck and ensure a proper, long-lasting installation. We'll advise what's appropriate for your specific situation.
Is metal roofing worth the higher upfront cost?
Metal roofing typically costs 2–3x more upfront than asphalt shingles, but lasts 2–3x as long. For homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term, the lifetime cost is often competitive — and the performance and curb appeal benefits are significant.
